Aside from home health care services in Dallas, Texas, people need other types of support while they face the ultimate challenges in their health. And that is why Medical Social Services exist.

While home health in Texas provides physical and mental wellness, social services ensure improvement in the lives of patients and their families and safeguard these people from the harm surrounding them.

And here are the services the social workers provide:

• Develop written care plans and prepare social histories for future use.
• Communicate plans and changes to the patient’s medical team – including their physician, nurse, and even their nursing assistant in Texas when needed.
• Plan and coordinate community resources and help the families gain access to them.
• Intervene with the crises arising in a patient’s life and ensure his safety from harm.
• Help families with grief management and providing bereavement support.

Social workers provide patients with the emotional support they need during difficult times. Like homecare providers, they are equally essential to families and communities.

And when you need social services for your loved ones, call Higher Standards Home Health at 214-628-9047. We offer many other services, including companionship and Skilled Nursing.
